Im going to to be travelling internationally and luggage space is at a premium so I cannot take a laptop.
I have seen talk of using the DJI RC as an intermediary unit to transfer images to a USB-C external drive.
Transfer from the drone is way too slow, can you put the SD card from the drone into the RC unit and copy from there?
If I’m not with my card reader, I’ll fire up DJI Fly on my iPhone and set the drone into Quick Transfer mode. It’s not as fast as reading direct from the card but fine for me.
But I want to know what it’s transferring to slowly! I said laptop as I’m guessing that’s what they are using at the moment to transfer but want confirmation.
I know they can’t use the laptop on holiday so that’s why I offered using the DJI Fly app on a phone.
… also wastes battery that then needs additional recharging .. and the main reason I’ve always taken the card out of my drones to copy the contents.
I’m sure I’ve read that, on some newer drones, a powered USB connection can access the SD card in the drone without turning it on .. which makes a lot of sense .. but doesn’t help if copying to a phone, of course.
Hi I would normally pull the images off via a laptop, but Im travelling round Europe on trains, and busses for 3 weeks with a rucksack, so a laptop is just too much to carry/lose, But using the phone or maybe an iPad may work. with a reader.
Or one of those Sandisk extreme SSD usb-c things
just tried my RC controller with the screen that came with my Mini 3 pro - it will not see a SSD plugged into the USBC port so you cant copy from the SC Card to the SSD - pity that.
Ha, I would but I have learnt the hard way that copying your data off the drone after every flight, or at least at the end of the day is good data hygiene.dont embarrass me by asking how I know this
Easy, you plug the ssd into the DJI RC controller via the usb c host connector ( not the usual usb c charging port). Your controller will detect the external drive. Search YouTube for videos on how to do this
